      Again, the rules are made up, but there are a dozen listed sins that are unforgivable. You just have to look for them.

      However, a deal with the devil is automatically considered blasphemy against God, and thus an unforgivable sin. Add in the sin of Pride, and Johnny is damned.

      • there are a dozen listed sins that are unforgivable. You just have to look for them.

        Both Matthew 12:30-32 and Mark 3:20-29 clearly state otherwise. Idk what Bible you’re reading.

        a deal with the devil is automatically considered blasphemy against God, and thus an unforgivable sin.

        While making a deal with the devil is often viewed as a form of blasphemy, the unforgivable sin- blasphemy against the Holy Spirit- involves an ultimate rejection of God’s truth and grace, which isn’t necessarily inherent to making a deal with the devil.

        Pride is a forgivable sin
